notes.1
1. This text, Toh 925, and all those contained in this same volume (gzungs ’dus, e), are listed as being located in volume 100 of the Degé Kangyur by the Buddhist Digital Resource Center (BDRC). However, several other Kangyur databases—including the eKangyur that supplies the digital input version displayed by the 84000 Reading Room—list this work as being located in volume 101. This discrepancy is partly due to the fact that the two volumes of the gzungs ’dus section are an added supplement not mentioned in the original catalog, and also hinges on the fact that the compilers of the Tōhoku catalog placed another text—which forms a whole, very large volume—the Vimalaprabhānāmakālacakratantraṭīkā (dus ’khor ’grel bshad dri med ’od, Toh 845), before the volume 100 of the Degé Kangyur, numbering it as vol. 100, although it is almost certainly intended to come right at the end of the Degé Kangyur texts as volume 102; indeed its final fifth chapter is often carried over and wrapped in the same volume as the Kangyur dkar chags (catalog). Please note this discrepancy when using the eKangyur viewer in this translation. Note that there is a discrepancy among various databases for cataloging the Toh 925 version of this text within vol. 100 or 101 of the Degé Kangyur. See Toh 925, , for details.

4. Reading lha ma yin (“asuras”) from C, K, KY, and L instead of lha (“devas”). This accords with Toh 761 and 762.
notes.5
5. Reading ’jig (“overcome”) from K, KY instead of ’jigs (“danger”). This accords with Toh 925.

6. The phrase sarva abhaya prade has been emended here to sarvābhayaprade.

7. Tib. tshig bzhi bcu rtsa gcig po. Not counting the initial tadyathā, the request for protection and the final mantra, the above vidyāmantra, as it stands, comprises fifty-one words rather than forty one.
